chiasaur11 posted:There's also the Gaunt's Ghosts books, where Gaunt and his handpicked team spent more than a year on a chaos corrupted world and come back clean. (Seriously traumatized, but clean, vouched for by the Inquisition). They also got arrested, and almost executed, and avoided that for two reasons: 1. The lord-general who sent them there spent every last ounce of his influence to get them free. 2. A high-ranking inquisitor took a personal interest and despite initially leaning towards execution just to make sure ultimately backed the general because he got convinced that the unique flora of the marshlands in Chaos-occupied world might have special qualities that allow people to resist chaos taint better.

Was this dude known about at all before? He isn’t in the companion art montage and I don’t think I’ve seen an Inquisition companion mentioned anywhere else. Edit: nm I think he actually is in the art, he just looks noticeably different. https://twitter.com/OwlcatGames/status/1595795059387305984 Anno fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Nov 24, 2022 |

He looks about the same, just that the lightning he's firing off in the title art makes his robes look purple rather than red. Edit: So we know the following:

And now the man who will look upon you with stern disapproval as you do all those fun things the Imperium of Man calls "heretical" and "Chaos-tainted". https://t.co/y7dGNv4IlU  edit: They should have just replaced the description with "Regil in the Warhammer 40K Universe".

CommunityEdition posted:He’s going to try to make us do an Exterminatus,isn’t he Gosh I hope so  That said, as a Puritan of the Ordo Xenos, he shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's Ordo Malleus Radicals you need to watch out for. Sylphosaurus posted:Question is how high ranking he is and if it would cause too much of an Inquisitorial stink if a few airlocks would "malfunction" in his general area? Interrogators are a step right below Inquisitor, and spacing him might bring the wrath of his patron down on your Trader House. On one hand, much of a Rogue Trader's hard power lies with the Trader, their retinue and most of all, their starship, and a lone Interrogator (or even Inquisitor) and friends will have a very hard time facing all of that directly. On the other hand, the Trader's soft assets (finances, noble contacts and the like) are all contained within the Imperium's institutions proper, and those are definitely within reach of the Inquisition- IIRC, the tabletop game even mentions that if your party rolls badly on acquiring goods, it should be spun as the Inquisition being involved somehow, as opposed to your super-wealthy characters suddenly being unable to purchase a lasgun or something.

Curious, how powerful are Rogue Trader ships compared to, say, the Imperial Navy? I know that any ship capable of interstellar travel is a Big Deal(tm) but are they on par with cruisers or more in line with a destroyer or frigate? I assume they're not on the same tier as Battleships or something like a Battle Bardge.

Richest NPC families own literal fleets of ships and rule multiple systems. Some Rogue traders have even acquired alien vessels. On RPG side, the player group build their starting ship. Taking cheaper/smaller ship means the family is a rich upstart family. Taking a decked out Battlecruiser means the family is old and on hard times. In game terms you have split between Ship Points and Profit Factor. First is used to buy hull and all components, latter is (mainly) used to acquire rare/illegal items/weapons.

At the end of the day though, if the Imperial Navy decides any particular rogue trader or rogue trader dynasty(ies) need removing, it's game over, though. Unless you do something like what Severus XXIII did and prepare for years and secede in the event of a massive ork Waaagh that also occupies the Imperium, there's no way a rogue trader could stand up to the Imperium at large. Although it might take years before they finally get around to crushing you. Actually the Severan Dominate -- the secessionist worlds of Duke Severus -- would be a good faction for this game. It's also in the Calixis Sector, where the Koronus Expanse this game is set takes place. The Dominate aren't Chaos-aligned, still technically worship the Emperor, but they don't recognize Terra's authority and instead listen to their Duke alone. They're also willing to cut deals with drukhari, ignore Chaos to allow Chaos to strike at Imperial weakpoints, trade with T'au and other xenos, and so on. It might provide an interesting contrast to the Imperium in a way. Lassitude fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Nov 24, 2022 |

Yeah Ordo Hereticus and also the (unrelated) Adepta Sororitas you want to avoid. They tend to be the absolute psychos who will gleefully torch people for being insufficiently pious. Ordo Xenos, if anything, can be somewhat chill, as they might have xenos contacts in their effort to thwart greater xenos threats (e.g. working with aeldari to smoke drukhari).

Reading the articles on him and his Severan Dominate, let's NOT go working or making deals with the guy perfectly happy to employ a Dark Eldar Kabal to help him take his fiefdom. Given, you know, what kind of things they would have wanted for that that he was fine giving them.  Seriously, the Imperium may be terrible but I'll still take it over someone extensively working with Drukhari. VVV: Glancing into that it also looks extremely dumb, but I will note it wasn't some sanctioned operation: It was a conspiracy of extreme Radical Inquisitors (Xanthites, which honestly seems bizarre - they couldn't have come up with a similar Ordo Xenos faction?) and a few (3 out of 12) High Lords that mostly got smoked by more mainstream Inquisitors and Custodes. Though yes, some did manage to sneak to Commorragh and make an unspecified deal. I'll secondarily note that this seems to have taken place after Guilliman had assumed regency, so those High Lords REALLY didn't have the authority to do this.

As a Rogue Trader it's easy enough to not be a heretic or summon daemons or w/e, but if I want some weird Eldar bling or to hang out with Necrons some dweeb who's all "You gotta abhor the xenos Man should be master of the cosmos" is the last dude I wanna hang out with

I hope he’s a Libracarian. That seems like the recipe for maximum drama in a Rogue Trader outfit, without actually imploding. (I think a Monodominant would just plain not work.)

There were a bunch of Adeptus Custodes involved at the end as well, and until the inevitable betrayal was revealed they were 100% down with sacrificing entire worlds to the drukhari in exchange for their help. In the 'new' 40k especially, the Imperium is way more liberal about associating with xenos. Inquisitor Rostov running around with a xenos as a part of his retinue in public makes me think the rogue trader should be able to get away with virtually any xenos as a viable companion.
